No EML on.

Stalls in neutral sometimes at traffic lights, junctions etc.

Also sometimes revs to £3k on starting the car.

Corsa 1.6 16v by the way. X16xe.

Thanks

cold be an air leak, do the revs idle differently all the time or just on startup?

it really could be alot of things, make sue all the plugs and leads are ok, probably worth chaning the plugs for the amont it costs....

what abot a fuel filter also? does the car drive ok once moving?

It was an air leak

I hadn't seen the car when i wrote the post, opened the bonnet and you could actually hear it

Put a little samco on it and it was fine.

Thanks for the replies.
